81: Chapter 81 Spirituality

Tang Long borrowed a dozen books at once and casually found a table, reading them voraciously.

Following "Overview of Martial Arts and Psionic Energy," he began to delve deeper into his research.

Actually, Vulture said one thing that was very correct: the process of martial arts cultivation is the process of the human body becoming spiritualized, but what he said was too general and one-sided.

The degree of spiritualization is precisely the definition of spirituality.

However, spirituality is largely innate; it determines the speed of cultivation and the upper limit of one's realm.

Even if it can be slightly improved through the influence of psionic energy later on, the margin is very small.

Therefore, in the general martial arts theory of Blue Star, level six spirituality is a threshold.

Below this threshold, even with forced cultivation, potential will be exhausted early, and it is impossible to reach the Blood Refining realm.

If resources cannot keep up, and one does not work hard enough, there are not a few who stop at the Middle Realm or Lower Realm.

Although martial arts are prevalent on Blue Star, the majority are still ordinary people who are not suitable for cultivation; this proportion accounts for about 80%.

Since there are people who are not suitable for cultivation, naturally there are also people who are particularly suitable for cultivation.

Such people are called spiritual bodies, with extremely high innate spirituality.

For ordinary people, reaching six points is a passing grade, eight to ten points is considered excellent, but the spirituality of a spiritual body is generally above thirty.

Tang Long shook his head as he read.

Sure enough, ignorance is the original sin.

He previously thought his development was smooth enough, but he didn't expect to have taken a detour.

Spirituality determines the speed of cultivation; such a simple truth, and he only just found out now.

No wonder various problems always appeared when he cultivated.

If he had started adding spirituality back at the mining site, his progress would definitely be much stronger than it is now.

Now that he knows its importance, he happens to have no attribute points left in his hand.

What's more worrying is that now it seems that no attribute is unimportant; how can he manage it if he spreads them out evenly?

In the actual combat training hall, Sun Jian came to Wei Lin's side with a smile.

"Young Master Wei, I have already warned that Tang Long; he is still sensible."

Wei Lin nodded slightly and directly handed over a card. "You have good judgment. You did this matter very well. Later, take my business card to Changsheng. Buy a round casually; don't be too greedy, it's a sure win."

"Then thank you, Young Master Wei."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Xiaolan followed and found them.

"Sun Jian, where did Tang Long go?"

"How would I know? I'm not familiar with him!"

Jiang Xiaolan looked at him suspiciously, glanced sideways at Wei Lin, snorted, and turned to leave.

Red God Cathedral.

Lv Yang waited quietly under the holy fire altar. At this moment, the High Priest above let out a long breath, woke up from a trance, and his expression was quite poor.

"High Priest, are you okay?"

The High Priest shook his head. "The heavenly change is becoming more and more frequent, the laws of the various realms are restless, and the great transformation is closer than the last oracle."

"If things are already unavoidable... you must take care of your health." Lv Yang was also worried.

"I want to too, but in the current Song City, who can replace me?"

The High Priest sighed. "Forget it, let's not talk about this. How is that Holy Successor?"

"He has already enrolled, and the place he lives is also very low-key. Due to his strange perception, I did not pry too much."

The High Priest coughed lightly and said again, "Get started as soon as possible and do another test on him. I haven't truly seen to what extent those eyes of his can be miraculous. If there are no problems, arrange a screening for the upper levels."

"Would this be too rushed?"

"We cannot afford not to be rushed. Before the great transformation arrives, we must at least ensure that our surroundings are clean. If a nest of Blasphemers is hidden in key positions, there will be big trouble when the time comes."

"What if... he can't see it? I mean, is it possible that because his realm is too low, he cannot see through the strong?"

"Of course there is such a possibility, but this is also a positioning of his value."

Lv Yang nodded deeply. "I understand. Do you have any other instructions?"

The High Priest considered for a moment. "Set off immediately, visit that Duke in Feng City, and by the way, ask him to help request a complete copy of the Juling Breathing Technique from the Fengcheng Sect. Just say I want it."

Lv Yang asked in surprise, "They probably won't give it, right? Besides, that insidious villain Ye Baiming is still plotting against us behind our backs; will he agree?"

"Precisely because he is a villain and has plotted against us, he must help with this favor. Don't worry about how he does it; just put on a debt-collecting face. Just tell him it's my intention; if he doesn't give it, we go to war."

"But, what do we want that thing for?"

"That kid was able to practice to this level from an edited version; aren't you curious about the effect of him practicing the original version? That kid has a personality that won't get up early without profit. If you want him to do things for you, you have to give him motivation."

"Yes."

"You must protect him well. The Blasphemers have likely already noticed his eyes and won't just let it go like this."

Feng City, an underground base outside the city.

Han Feng walked through the long, dim corridor, entered a spacious stone room, and then closed the heavy stone door.

After taking a deep breath, a black hexagram appeared on his forehead. After a flash of light and darkness in the stone room, five figures appeared around him.

These figures could not see their faces clearly, but most of them were the same as him, with a black hexagram flickering on their foreheads.

Two of them were different; one had a heptagram on his forehead, and the other's mark was exactly the same as the sun in the sky, a black hand covering the sun.

"Oh, today's protagonist is late, finally making an appearance. Everyone, applaud!"

"Truly amazing, Stinger; you really showed your face this time."

"Showed my face? Are you sure it wasn't my ass?"

"Stop mocking. I heard that several seed members died in the Feng City branch; it's all a loss for the organization."

"They did such stupid things and we can't talk about it? I now question whether he has the ability to be a branch manager at all!"

At this time, the one with the heptagram raised his hand.

"Everyone, convening this meeting today is not for the issue of Stinger's qualifications."

"He did indeed commit mistakes, leading to the deaths of several seed members. Among them were two of the most precious Rule-types, and three Transformation-types; this is indeed a major loss."

"But his position is very important, and his achievements and resume are impeccable; no one can replace him. Therefore, I have personally vouched for him to the headquarters. The headquarters' order is: a stern warning, temporarily observed and retained. This issue will not be discussed further."

The other figures listened and bowed slightly to the heptagram in unison.

"Yes, Lord Minister."

The heptagram nodded slightly. "Convening everyone today is because Stinger has an important situation to report. Stinger, you speak."

Han Feng nodded through gritted teeth. "Thank you, Lord Minister, for your protection. I did indeed commit a series of mistakes, leading to the sacrifice of many members. But their sacrifice was not without value; I have thus grasped an important piece of intelligence, which can even be said to concern the survival of the organization."

"That successor of the mask of calamity very likely possesses the ability to directly see the blasphemy mark."
